Re: [Harp-L] Howlin' Wolf Blues Harp

["John Kerkhoven" <solo_danswer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That clip is in the film, The Howlin' Wolf Story. If I remember correctly,
the man with the hat nodding his head is Son House and during that studio
session Howlin' Wolf takes a strip off him for wasting so much of his life
to drink.

The film is worth it for all the footage of the man. Such a big presence.

Cheers,

John
